To the title of woe it is sijthin^ t

For its bravest treasures dying ?
A mother weeps with a mother’s grief

If the cause he loved he won.”

« t » r* " •
t live In" San Francisco, and tint a lock-
eutkh by trade. My culling Is a strange
one, and possesses a certain fascination,
rendering it one of the most pleasant of
pursuits. Many who follow it see uoth-^
ing in it but labor—think of nothing but
iu returns in gold and silvdr. To me it
has other charms than tho money it pro
duces. I was on lied upon almost daily,
to opert'doors and peer into long neglect
ed apartments; to spring tho stubborn
locks of safes, and glut upon the treas
ures piled within ; to quietly outer the
apartments ot ladies with wore bounty
than discretion, and pick the locks of
drawers containing peace-destroying mis

wandering affection may not roach the
eye of a husband or father, in possession
of-the missing key ; to force tho fasten

records, telling of men grown suddenly!
rich, of corporations plundered, of or
phans robbed, of hopes crushed, of fami
lies ruined. Is there no charm in all
this ?—no food for speculation ?—no
scope for the range of pleasant fancy ?—
Then, who would not bo a- jpolgvmith,
though lim fivre w bcsp'iminrd with the
soot of the forgo, and his hands are stain
ed with rust?
Bet I Jpivo a story to tell—not exactly
» story, either—for a story implies the
completion as well as the beginning of a
narrative—and mine is scarcely more
than tho introduction to one. Let him
who deals in thifigs of fancy .write the
rest. In the spring of l$5(i, I think it
was in April—I opened a little shop on
Kearny street, and soon worked myself
into a lair business. Late one evening a
lady, cloacly veiled, entered my shop, and | nipted : "I ntn n >> at
pulling from beneath a cloak a small
in panned box, requested me to opon it—
The lock was curiously constructed, and
I was all of an hour in fittims it with a
key. The lady seemed nervoua at the
delay, and nt length requested mo to
close the door. 1 was a little surprised
at the suggestion, but of course complied.
Shutting the door, and returning to my
work, the lady withdrew her veil, 'disclo

lodged. Thinking of burglars, sprang
out of bed. and in a moment was at the
window, with a heavy hammer in my
hand, which 1 usually kept at that time
within convenient reach of my bedaidc.
‘•Who’s there ?” I enquired, raidng
the hammer, and peering out into the
darkness—for it was as dark as Kgypt
when under the curse of Israel’s God.*
“Hist!” exclaimed a figure, stepping
in front of the window; “open the door,
f have business for you.”
* “Rather past business hours, I should
say, hut who arff you ?”
“No one that would harm you,” return
ed the voice, which I imagined was very
feminine for a Ijurglar’s.
“Nor no one that can !” I replied, rath
er emphatically, by way of warning, aa I
tightened my grip up at the hammer, and
proceeded to the doot. I pushed back
the bolt, and slowly opening the door,
discovered the stranger already upott the
steps. #
“What do you want ?” J abruptly in
quired.
“I will tell you,” answered the same
soft voice, “if you dare open the door
wide enough for mo to cuter.”
“Come in,” said I rc.tolutcly, throwing
the door ajar, and proceeding to light a
candle. Having succeeded, I turned to
examine tho visitor lie was a small and
neatly dressed gentleman, with a heavy
lluglau nroenfl his shouiders, and a blue
navy cap drawn suspieioHsly evcrthecyes.
As I advanced toward him, he seemed to
hesitate n moment, then rawed the cap
from his fbrehead and locked me curious
ly in the firoe. I did not drop the cau
dle, hut I acknowledge to a little nerv
ousness as I hurriedly placed the light
upon a table, and silently proceeded to
invest myself with two or throe very nec-
ese irymrlieles of clothing. As the lord
liyeth, my^visitor was a lady, and the
same for whom l opened M*e littlo box
jihout a mouth bofor'o! Having complct
od my hasty toilette, I attempted to sum
mer an apology for my rudeness, hut ut
terly failed, flie fact is 1 was confounded.
Smiling at my discomfiture, she said :
“J»i>-uise is useless j 1 presume you
recognise me ?”
“t boliovc I toldyou, madam, I should
notjsoou forget your face. In what way
can l servo you ?”
“liy doing half an hour’s work before
daylight lo-morrow, and receiving live
hundred dollars for your labor,” was the
reply-.
“It m mrt ordinary work, sifid l, in
quiringly, '“that com in a lids so munificent
compensation.”
“It is a labor common to your calling,”
replied ike lady. “Tho price is not so
much for tho labor, as the condition un
der which it must be performed.”
“What is the condition?” I ashed.
“That yu will submit to being coii-
veyeJ from and returned to your own
door blindfolded.”
“Ideas of murder, lu'glary, and al
most every other crime of villainy, hur
riedly presented themselves in succession
as 1 ja'litely bowed and .slid: 'l must
understand something more of the char
acter of the employment, ns well ns the
conditions, to accept y> ur utfer.”
“Will not live hundred dollars answer
in lieu of an explanation ?” she inquired.
“No—nor live thousand.”
She patted her foot nervously on the
fl'Kir. I could sec she had tdaced entire-
evidently an »ndi wgreitiKl haeewmnt,
stopped beside a .vault anu removed the
bnndWehief from iny *y«g.
“Here is the vault—open it,” said she
springing the door of a dark-lantern, and
throwing a beam of light upon the lock.
I seised a bnndt of skeleton keys, and
uftern few trials, which the lady seemed
to watch with the most painful anxiety,
sprang ihe bolt. The floor swum: upon
its hiag*'*, and my Companion telling me

little box contains valuable papers—and
I have lost the key, or it has been stolen.
I should not wish to have you remember
that 1 came here on such an errand,”
she continued, with some hesitation, and
giving me a look which it was no difficult
matter to understand.
“•Certainly, madam, if you desire it.—
If I cannot forget your fitee, I will at least
attempt to lose the recollection of ever
seeing it there.”
The lady bowed rather coldly at what
I considered a fine compliment, and I
proceeded with my work, satisfied that a
sudden discovered partiality for me had
.-nothing to do with the visit. Having
succeeded, after much filing ami fitting
£ it turned in the lock, I was seised with a
curiosity to get a glimpse at the precious
contents of the box, and suddenly raising
the lid discovered a bundle of letters, ami
a daguerreotype, &• I slowly passed the
box to its owner. She seized it hurriedly,
and placing the letters and picture in her
pocket, locked tho box, and drawing
the veil over her face, pointed to the
door. I opened it, and as she passed into
the street she merely whispered “remem-
bur!” Wc met again, ami 1 have been
.thus particular in describing foer visit to

Now you know all; will you aceompauy
me?”
“To the end of the world, madam, on
suck an errand.”
“Then prepare- yourself ; there is a
cab waiting at tho door.”
I was a little surprised, for I had not
Ticard the sound of wheels. Hastily draw
ing an a coat, and providing myself with
the required implements, I was soon nt
the door. There, sure enough, was the
cab, with the driver, in his seat, ready
for the mysterious journey. I entered
the vehiole, followed by the lady. As
soon as I wassented, she produced a hea
